In the evening he pores over « .heavy Greek books by the light of * his only electric bulb. Often he writes furiously, afterwards neatly .+ placing his papers in a small satchel + under loek and key. He sleeps littte more than five hours. This man, whose unprepossessing “figure and rather careless dress would pass unnoticed anywhere, guards the world's most interesting secret. The mystery man of the « PBritish government lives there. He ¢ §s Afrcraftsman A. C. Shaw, the ! tormer Col. T. E. Lawrence of « Arabia. « He does not seem unhappy. Abgut his face, however, there . lurks & small suspicion of fear, the + fear of 8. man who wishes to hide * from the public gaze. Alreraftsman 8haw, once Col T. ! E. Lawrence of Arabia and once Thomas Edward Lawrence, re- search fellow at Oxford, is an en- igma. No one, save himself, can explain why the former maker of kings and promising young gradu- ate of Oxford is scrubbing floors and puttering about a greasy air- station. Some Say He's Pouting Why this promising young student of archaeology quit his studies to become the world’s greatest secret military agent and then chucked it all to become a menial worker of the lowest rang in Britain’s flying corps is a riddle which even death may never bring from the lips of Lawrence. Compared to him a clam is quite communicative. Some hint that Aircraftsman Shaw, as Lawrence of Arabia, has a grievance against the British gov- ernment for the way the Allies treated his Arabs. They believe he s pouting like a child. There is something, it is certain, | behind Lawrence's continued and heated refusal of British decora- tions. He has been offered & " knighthood and has refused. Mili- tary honors and medais galore have been placed at his feet and he has spurned them all. Is his fall from the rank of colonel in the British army to a poorly paid private in the air force & result of his own wish? Or does he merely want to retire from the Public eye for a moment before con- tinuing his work in the Fast? No one can answer. The fact re- mains that the man who was once a ‘colenel is now a private getting Rardly enough money to buy gaso- Hne for the motorcycle on which he ‘:uw from ghg airystatign n ‘wants to ":Bnd eedtygm Seurious visitorfes ~n - = “es - Even Mother Is Guessing % Even his mother has told friends =that she was never ahl eto fathom Jher eon, or “Ned” as he was known the family. She admits that he always fed a topsy-turvy life mad §16 never knew ‘what ke was «doing or where he was. Despite Ithis Queer existence of his it Is «oaid he has had 28 offers of mar- ‘riage from womaen. His friends picture him as a dis- 3ppointed man. They say he has ‘been the pawn of his government in deals of which he did not approve. However this may be, it is cer- tain Lawrence is attempting to hide ward Lawrence no longer exists ex- cept in the mind of the public. He is now Aircraftsman Shaw of the Royal Air Force. But there still exists the theory, supported perhaps by past actions of Colonel Lawrence, that his pres- ent role is but a temporary one and that in a short time he will bob up again in Afghanistan, Arabia, or somewhere else in the East he knows so well, ‘This is not the first time that Lawrence has been doing menial work in the air force. In 1922 he ‘was cleaning dirty machinery in the R. A. F. under the name of Ross, having enlisted for seven years serv- jce. He did not remain long in England, however, and he was next seen in India in the garb of a| native. | Romantic Life Story His seven years of service was finished last April but it is under- stood he signed up for five more vears. At least he is still with the R. A F. The life story of Tawrence ex-i ceeds in romance and glamour the tales in “Arabian Nights.” For more than 15 years he has flitted about the globe like a shadow and no one | but himself could relate all his ex- periences. For years he would be buried in Arabia or India and then suddenly and unexpectedly reap- peared in England without a word to say about where he has heen or what he has been doing. True he has written two hooks but they do not tell all. On leaving Oxford where he was | a don, Lawrence made his way to| the East. Dressed as a native he| | wandered up and down Arabia, Syria and Mesopotamia, cultivated his natural gifts for association with Oriental peoples and making him- self master of the many Arabic dia- lects. ‘When the war came and Turkey threw in her lot with the Central Powers, this young archaeologist, who at the mdment was excavating Hittite remains in the Valley of the Euphrates, became a soldier whose exploits will long remain a legend among the Arabs. It is said that single handed he blew up more than 17 trains and underwent se- vere flogging from his Turkish cap- tors without revealing himself be be English and not Arabic. Organized Hedjaz Forces He organized the forces of the King of Hedjaz, who had revolted against the Sultan and seized Mecca. The story of how this tiny Englishman, dressed in the flowing robes of the Arahs, organized the forces of that country and led them to success after success reads like an inspired legend. Out of gratitude for his services to their countyy the Arab leaders made him an Emir and a Prince of Mecca, a signal honor. King Hus- sein presented him with a curved gold sword worn only bv direct de- scendants of Mohammed. At the end of the war he was with the British delegation at the peace conference and in 1921 he was ap- pointed adviser on Arab affairs for one year. This far. and no farther, is the record of his life carried in “Who's Who in Great Britain.” In this book there is no mention the years between 192 and Thomas Vdward classified as a “research fellow af All Soul's College, Oxfora® < °° It is known that in February of 1929 he suddenly returned to Lo don fram somewhere in India. ‘What he had been doing and why, none could say. A huge crowd gathered to meet him at‘the station but so expert had he become in eluding curious, and sometimes hos- tile, followers, that he slipped out of the station before the crowd had time to catch a glimpse of his small figure.

His fellow airmen were more lenient. When they learned that Lawrence was among their midst they immediately formed themselves into a sort of guard for his person. The words “Lawrence” and “Arabia” ‘were never mentioned in his pres- To them he is Aircraftsman Shr.w, a silent, moody person whom they admire but can not under- stand. His work is the same as theirs. In his spare time he reads or writes. His only form of amuse- ment is his motorcycle on which he loves to take fast night rides to London to get his mail.
